Re: 20020211: GEMPAK under RedHat Linux 7.2

Thank you for your rather speedy response...I didn't expect that...

I am checking into the situation...the user doesn't seem to want to give me 
the exact error...What I _do_ know is that he is using WindowMaker and 
GEMPAK works with that, so X must be configured correctly...must be some 
libraries in kde that aren't working.  Again, I'll let you know what the 
exact error is when I find out, if you're interested.  Thank you for your 
suggestion on the dual X servers though...good idea.
